7 Ways You’ll Enjoy Buffalo’s Improved Waterfront

I picked a good time to move back to Buffalo. I see new restaurants everywhere around town. I'm attending major concerts coming to First Niagara Center. There is a huge surge in hotel openings. However, what seems to be my favorite thing about our growth is what's happening on our waterfront.1) The Grain Elevator Across from Canalside Lights Up!

Have you had a chance to sit back and watch the displays yet?

2) The Canalside Carnival

All along the water's edge of Western New York you can catch a breathtaking sunset.

4) The Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park is the nation’s largest inland naval park with a World War II era.

In this video you'll see my son touring some of the ships.

5) Shopping!

If you haven't noticed there is plenty of shopping in the clothing boutiques, Harborcenter, Fowler’s Candy Store and Clayton’s Gifts and Toys. Remember to head down to the waterfront on Saturday morning for the artisan market.

6) Canalside’s weekly concert series!
